RELEASE DAY w/ BOOK REVIEW: "Blood Moon" by Lisa Kessler

One bite can change you.
And one kiss can change your destiny...

Nadya Dalca has been handed a death sentence. She's been bitten by the last living genetically enhanced werewolf―part of the Nero Organization's disastrous Moonlight project. With the poisonous blood now coursing through her system and pushing her to the limits, it is only a matter of time before Nadya's fate is sealed...
Gareth Takoda told himself he couldn't get involved. Caught up in a maelstrom of grief and bitterness, he has been isolating himself from his Pack. But when he is charged with watching over Nadya's first transformation―or bear witness should it go horribly wrong―Gareth is torn further by unwanted desire and the need to protect what is his.
One kiss changes everything. One shattering, all-consuming kiss. And with it, Nadya and Gareth face either salvation...or death.

MY REVIEW:

Picking up where Hunter's Moon left off, Lisa Kessler's Blood Moon details what happens to Nadya (jaguar shifter Sasha's younger sister) after she's infected by Nero's Lycan Project serum, and turned into a strange hybrid of a werewolf...and given a certain death sentence by Jason, the Pack doctor.
But Jason is determined to try and save her, so he hires a doctor who has his own agenda...
Meanwhile, Gareth is still reeling from his twin's murder and finally decides to move and get a fresh start. But, before he goes, he finds his mate...and finds out that the clock is ticking on her life and time is running out.

While Lana is still my favorite female lead in the Moon Series, Gareth is definitely my favorite werewolf! He's a leather jacket-wearing, Harley Davidson-riding badass, and I'm sure I won't be the only reader finding her new book boyfriend! He's damaged, but he's got a heart of gold and filled with love.
The emotions in this book are so raw and so real, it hits the reader like a slap to the face. I found myself in tears a couple of times. Death claims us all, but we all have a choice of how we die, what we do with the time we have left. Instead of killing herself or wallowing in self-pity, Nadya looks Death in the eye and says, "Screw you." She's an inspiring character, and her situation is relatable and meaningful.
You can tell that a lot of heart and research went into writing this, and I think that that is really what made this book so enjoyable, that you can feel how much of herself she put into the story.
There are lessons in this book, mostly live life to the fullest and have no fear. Also, let love in. Gareth learns that lesson the hard way in Blood Moon.
I loved this book and, after Beg Me To Slay, this is Mrs. Kessler's best novel to date!

5/5--doesn't get much better than this!

BOOK REVIEW: "Mathion (Mavonduri Trilogy #1)" by Jeff Shanley

In an ancient time long lost to legend, a race of men known as the Wolven inhabited the land of Ánovén. To the north lay the land of Kânavad, home to a brutal, savage race we know today as Werewolves.
At the age of seven, the Wolven prince Mathion encountered a dying White Wolf, and received two gifts that would forever change not only his life, but the course of history itself. Centuries later, with a White Wolf at his side, Mathion gathers together a small band of warriors, consisting of both friends and family. Their mission: help the city of Kihar east of the river defend itself against an advancing army of werewolves.
Along the way, Mathion learns of a secret that he has carried with him all his life, and a power that can change the tide of a war that has raged between the Wolven and the Werewolves for over twenty thousand years. Little does he know that his enemy is well aware of this secret. And they will do anything to obtain the final piece of a puzzle that, if completed, could condemn the world to eternal darkness.
When someone close to him is captured alive by the enemy, Mathion attempts the impossible: to venture into the enemy's homeland itself, and infiltrate the Black City, the stronghold of Lord Azgharáth, the oldest and strongest of the werewolves. With this choice, events are set in motion that will hurtle these lands toward a final confrontation, and an epic journey is begun that will change everyone's lives forever.

Above is the description on Amazon for Mathion, the first book in Jeff Shanley's Mavonduri Trilogy. I put that instead of my own description because I could not have put a summary of the book as eloquently as it was put here.
I was recommended to Mr. Shanley by a mutual friend, David, and I'm so glad he briught us to work together!
Usually, when I hear that a book is influenced by Tolkien, I think, Here we go again. Mathion is not a book you'll read everyday, and I'm sorry for thinking for a second that it might be.
Imagine if Bram Stoker and Tolkien could have a lovechild. What would they write? They would write the Mavonduri Trilogy, an epic adventure full of danger and werewolves.
While the characters are very important, this is a story-driven book, not character-driven. It's vivid, it's enchanting and it's the perfect book for those of us who love fantasy and the paranormal.
There are many similarities between this and Lord of the Rings, but they are like acknowledging nods to the master of fantasy rather than blatant rip-offs.
This is a beautifully written book, and I am excited for #2!

4/5--unique!

"Moonlight" by Lisa Kessler is Out Now!

Purchase Moonlight on Amazon!

Purchase Moonlight from Barnes And Noble (NOOK)

The long-awaited day has arrived: you can now purchase the first book in Lisa Kessler's Moon Series: "Moonlight"!
I have reviewed this novel (look in my archives) & can testify that it us a truly magnificent piece of work (and, let's be honest: I am not a fan of werewolves, but Mrs. Kessler made Adam Sloan more than appealing!)
It also includes a dash of danger, death & is a subtle commentary on bigotry in America (think racism & LGBTQA social issues).
I rated it 5 out of 5...I think you'll do the same, reader!
